I thought it was time to diversify a bit from technically a bicycle slant. Although I still own elcyc.com, it was a little too focussed. So now I have explorerist.com, which will now show my exploits through word and photos of my adventures however or wherever I may travel.

I went on a solo kayak trip from Dawesville to Herron point and camped overnight. I then paddled back to Dawesville the next day.I was fortunate enough to have the wind behind me on the way down, but encountered a constant 12kn+ headwinds on the way back.

The photos on the way back were taken in wind sheltered areas as it was too wild to photograph in the wind.

The scariest moment on this trip for me, was trying to cross back over to Dawesville on the return leg. Cross winds with wind waves up to a metre, was a bit disconcerting for my first time dealing with conditions like that.

Point Herron campground has road access and has space for about 20 vans and probably similar amount of tents. Camping fee was $7.50 for my self, overnight. It has flushing toilets, somewhere to wash dishes and that is about it. There is no potable water, so you need to pack in your own water.
